Help my please on buying a car

[tredamian11]

Hi guys, I'm a new member. Please help me with the choice of car. I want something like this https://incacar.com/used/cars/audi/a6/2018-Audi-A6-617099/ What do you think about that?
Thanks for answers.

Personally I’d get a 2013 -2014 3.0T Prestige for $20k with 25-40k miles. Or I’d just spend $15k more and get a 2019 (I’d be least likely to do this because I don’t want to be the one getting hit with depreciation)

Now if you must have a facelifted C7, just get a 2016 and save yourself $10k.

I'd love to buy a 2019 30.T A6 Prestige for $35k. Where have you seen it for that price? I sure as hell can't find one! I paid $32k for my 2016 Prestige a year ago, and it's been flawless.

When I said spend $15k more, I meant $15k more than the price of the car he linked lol.

Make sure to check the vehicle history + inspect the car. If memory serves me correctly, there have been a lot of storms/hurricanes/flooding in recent years (in Texas where the car is currently located) increasing the chances that this vehicle may not be as clean as it looks. Factory warranty is usually 4 years or 50,000 miles whichever one comes first. This car is already at 29,053 miles (roughly 10k left in warranty). Lastly, I agree with others saying to keep an eye out for a low mileage 2016 and save some money if you are looking for a facelifted A6 (or having some additional options for that price - i.e. LED headlights, HUD, Lane Assist, etc.). I'd also recommend staying clear of the Nougat brown interior as it doesn't fair as well on the market compared to other interior colored vehicles (resale purposes).

I have a pre-facelift A6 3.0T (2015 C7) and LOVE the look of my LED Headlights. [:D]

Additional food for thought:
As a comparable, carmax (NJ) shows a 2016 audi a6 premium plus with 27k miles for $25,998 ($4k+ savings which can be applied to mods: tuning, rims, other...if you're into modding that is...)

I agree with Qwery718.

I got a 2013 prestige with B&O, Innovation package and bunch of other options (except cold weather that's because it has sport package and my understanding is that if the car has sport package, it cannot have cold weather package) 60k miles for $21k...
From what I understood, try to go with the highest spec model even if a bit old to get the most out of it. There are a lot of minor differences which you notice once you start driving. (Ex: My 2013 prestige has noise reducing windshield, auto dimming rear view mirror etc which my friend's 2017 q5 premium doesn't, all these minor features also play a key role once you start driving...)
Lastly for reference, my car window sticker is 72K where as the car in the link costs 52K. https://www.knowmyvin.com/ is where you can find your window sticker.

Also, a trick which I've seen, if you add the car to my cars under mycarfax, you can get the carfax report for free which I did to see only one service record for the car for 10k service, You might want to check this properly though, might not be reliable or I may be wrong with this trick...

Skip this car. It's a bare bones base model with literally zero options/packages. It's also a rental car.

Very good find. Stay away from rental cars 100% no matter the brand. They're always beat to shit even at low mileage.

Another vote for no rental...no matter the company. I would never buy a former rental. To quote Jeremy Clarkson - "The fastest car is always a rental". This is because people beat the snot out of them. Pay just a little more to get a well taken care of car. Side note, I've never seen a Monroney list absolutely zero options on an Audi...even paint. None, nada. That's as base as it gets. Interesting.
